It was back!
Or rather, it had never left!
After the existence of this alien behemoth had been discovered, biologists, cosmologists, and even United Nations politicians around the world had engaged in fierce debates over what exactly this starry-sky behemoth was and just how large it was.
Based on the typical proportion between the eyes and body of Earth creatures, if this alien creature's eye had a diameter of several meters, then its body had to be at least several hundred meters long, perhaps even longer than an ordinary aircraft carrier.
It was more than worthy of being called a starry-sky behemoth.
The largest creature on Earth was the blue whale, and the longest one ever recorded was only thirty-three meters long. Before this starry-sky behemoth, it was simply insignificant.
However, there were differing opinions. Some believed that this thing's eye-to-body ratio was different from that of Earth creatures. Perhaps this eye was its main body—a giant eyeball several meters in diameter—and there was nothing to worry about.
Another view held that the starry-sky behemoth might be far larger than humans could imagine. After all, the environment of outer space was completely different from gravitational Earth, and this creature might have grown however it pleased.
Or perhaps this was not an eye at all, but something else. Humans had merely assumed it was an eye the moment they saw it. Maybe it was the behemoth's asshole, or something like that.
Of course, those latter two views were not mainstream. People still preferred judgments that conformed to their common sense, believing that this thing's eye should still bear some proportional relationship to its body.
But now, whether they were researchers and soldiers at the scene or members of the public watching on television and computers, everyone swallowed hard as they realized
